Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II)

Thanks Verity. :-)

Almost bearded - this makes me think of something that has not yet reached the age to grow a beard - something young. It has no hair and is large. You can take him anywhere, so this seems to say he has traveled a bit.

Is it possibly a snake - either Nagini or the zoo snake?

I've been thinking about the riddle for days, but I haven't been able to think of anything that would seem to fit the clues. Here are two desperate guesses anyway:

Almost bearded with no hair makes me suspect a pun - perhaps it's something that sounds similar to bearded but not quite the same. Charmingly may refer to some magical quality, and you can take me anywhere reminds me of transportation. So the answer could be (LOL) a large magical vehicle that can be boarded (not exactly 'bearded') - how about the Durmstrang ship?

Alternatively, bearded can be associated with 'old', so my second guess is Running Gag 3, the Elder Wand.

Have we earned a hint?

Whoa, a mixed up Talented Cube? I'm a mixed up Choices........I think that hint just confunded me more. LOL The first thing that came to mind is Rubik's Cube - huh? Then I googled Talented Cube and it mentioned someone named Ice Cube and his Talented friends and that I do not pretend to understand. So, here's another wild guess - Is it the tent the Weasley's used at the Quidditch World Cup? It was getting older, but had no hair - enchanted to make it larger and used to stay in when traveling.

Ok, how about the handbag that Hermione carried when she, Harry and Ron fled the wedding?

I thought I'd post my thoughts and hope that I don't win since I'm not good at thinking up riddles.

Focusing on the second line, charmingly implies magical, large, well large! Take me anywhere sounds like transportation...

So... The Knight Bus, or the Beauxbaton's carriage?

Neither of these works well with the first line on the surface, so I don't expect these to be right.

Whoa, persistence certainly does pay off. I'm not terribly good at riddles, but I'll do my best to come up with one and get back here to post it.

Verity, this was a fun riddle, and I love the hint! I was also reminded of Rubik's Cube, but I could not relate it to HP, so I googled in TALENTED CUBE, but it did not help either. It was a great idea to give us an anagram, and LOL, you even told us that the "talented cube" was "mixed up"!

Congratulations, Choices! I look forward to your riddle!

Sorry to take so long, but as I said, riddles do not come easily to me. Here is what I came up with.......

THE MOM MAY INVESTIGATE,
BUT THEY WILL NEVER SEE ME.
I AM CRAFTY AND DEVIOUS.
I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT TO BE.
WHAT AM I?

Let the guessing begin and good luck!

Thanks for the guess, Verity, but the answer isn't love.

THE MOM MAY INVESTIGATE,
BUT THEY WILL NEVER SEE ME.
I AM CRAFTY AND DEVIOUS.
I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT TO BE.
WHAT AM I?

Guessed: Love

That's an intriguing riddle, Choices. Is THE MOM the Ministry of Magic or a mother? (I'm definitely not asking you to answer this question, LOL.) Since Verity is trying the Ministry-related guesses, I may try the other line, which reminds me of the twins.

Hm... wild guess: Patented Daydream Charms?

Is it the fake galleons used by the DA to communicate with each other?

Thanks to Verity and Julia and Mona for the guesses, but it isn't prophecies, fake galleons or patented daydream charms. Just to keep you from getting on the wrong track, there is no mother in the riddle.

Keeping with the Dept. of Mysteries theme, I'll guess Time.

Thanks for the guess BB, but time is not the correct answer. Keep trying, please.

Here's a hint: A relative of mine hangs out at the home of a Hogwart's student.

Guessed: Love - prophecies - fake galleons - patented daydream charms - time

Is it Dobby?

More interesting guesses, but it is not magical portraits or Dobby. Thanks to Verity and Shepherdess for the latest guesses!

Is it a Chameleon Ghoul?
